Because literally, more than half the country wishes he didn’t miss.

And exactly half of Tenacious D, apparently

Wait, what?

Edit: disregard, I was behind on the news apparently

Rage Kage said something dumb about it and now Jaybles doesn't want to work with him anymore

I don't think that's what went down, I think they're just doing PR damage control behind closed doors. I don't think this has actually effected their relationship. Jack Black is definitely not a supporter of trump at least.

Damn, I didn’t know Jack Black was a piece of shit like that.

Jablinski is a piece of shit for trying to maintain their PR by denouncing a statement that could be interpreted as a call to violence?

"trump is literally the next Hitler guys"

"great so we don't even need a time machine"

"oh not like that though"

👀

Look I'm not saying that it's a good thing that the shot missed. I'm just saying that it's understandable how someone might want to not say the quiet part out loud when it doesn't make a tangible difference on who ends up being president come January, but does make a tangible difference on how much money they make.

Publicly calling for violence against the man who might be a dictator of the country you live in this time next year isn't exactly the safest play either, long-term.

We need to keep Trump out of the white house, but advocating for that "by any means necessary" is a dangerous play, no matter how much you personally agree with the people making such statements.

On record. Off record, we all know he feels about the racist rapist with 34 felonies that wants to be a dictator and end democracy.
